cross-posted: preprint servers (2)

[Michael Engel]

Those who receive my email several times, please use the delete key freely.

Coming back to these new preprint servers. There are still so many important
questions open.

Are electronic time-stamps lawyer-attack-proofed ? Or is it necessary for
any preprint server to print out the submitted paper and stamp it manually ?

Will journal publishing companies allow the submission to such servers,
before or after the submission to a journal ?
before submission to a journal: pre-publication ?
after submission to a journal: reduced revenue for the publisher as many
people will not buy the publication but take the preprint ?

Any comments from ChemWeb.com ????

Thank you.
Michael
